Electronic device, method, and computer readable storage medium for managing defrosting period of refrigerator

A method performed by an electronic device, wherein the method comprising:

• receiving, from a refrigerator connected with the electronic device through a network, first information on the refrigerator;
• inputting, as input data, at least a portion of the first information to a prediction model for managing a defrosting period of the refrigerator;
• obtaining output data from the prediction model in response to the input data;
• predicting, based on the output data of the prediction model, an amount of frost in the refrigerator;
• and
• based on the predicted amount of the frost, transmitting second information for setting the defrosting period of the refrigerator to the refrigerator.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when being executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:

• receive, from a refrigerator connected with the electronic device through a network, first information on the refrigerator,
• input, as input data, at least a portion of the first information to a prediction model for managing a defrosting period of the refrigerator,
• obtain output data from the prediction model in response to the input data,
• predict, based on the output data of the prediction model, an amount of frost in the refrigerator, and
• based on the predicted amount of the frost, transmit second information for setting the defrosting period of the refrigerator to the refrigerator.
